As always, the event is raising money to help local charities and non-profits. This year’s beneficiaries include BUILD Boston, Catie’s Closet, Doc Wayne, Quest Adventures, Rightside Shirts, Science from Scientists, and Youth Harbors.

TUGG’s David Brown said of this year’s event, "We are thrilled about the return of the Wine Party! This year is going to blow away past events with seven amazing nonprofits, a killer new location, and over 1,000 leaders from the innovation community."

"At the end of the day,” he added, “this is what TUGG is all about: great folks coming together for a good time and to make their voices heard on which social innovators they think are going to make the biggest difference in the future of our community.”

“It's what open-source philanthropy is all about-community leadership around relevant community issues."
